[Merged] 4.1 Ghz Dual Core Pentium 805 Monster

[Aragorn]

Sounds good.
Any more tech details? Mobo, memory?
How much did it set you back in the end for Proc, mobo & mem?

[Skatoony]

And I thought my P4 ran hot any way (65C underload). Good luck with the overclocking!

Gigabyte mobo 1 gig of 667 ddr2 and the cpu about £200 notes im running with a 200 gig sata II hdd and basic gfx for now as its not my main machine

Under load at 3 gig it runs prime95 at 57 degrees

Excellent stuff, but crank it up - you know you want to!

When the metal can on top of the chip goes ping you've gone too far.

Hmm, wee need the goodies mate, 3ghz is not close to what was promised really.

How is your Mobo for multiplyiers, are you able to adjust CPU speed independant of memory speed?

yeah theres a multiplier for the ram as well as the cpu.Im gonna order me a hsf for it and see im gonna try for 3.4 once I get it.Should make 3.6 will just notching up the vcore.The stock hsf is bilge and seeing as ive never built a PGA 775 until now I dunno how easy its gonan come off lol.
All thats stopping me is the stock fan
Any idea what the upper threshold is on these chips save me looking myself lol lol

Ok 3.2 gig case side off and its 54-56 degrees running prime95 stock cooling
This is a nuts cpu

Ok underclocked the ram to 3.33 x multiplier and upped the fsb to 170
posted a booted at 3.4 gig test time

so far no difference in temps this is nuts

screenie Bare in mind this is stock cooling and no increase in vcore

[TheBlueRaja]

Looking sweeeeet mate - keep it up - should go much further.

Dont suppose you could do a Sisoft Sandra benchie for comparision to other systems?

you provide the download lol Im not pushing it any further with stock cooling but its nuts though isnt it.Wish id bought a better hsf im enjoying this.Gonna let prime95 run all after noon then run 3dmark 2001 or 2003 for a couple of hours.
My main prob is the gfx is passive cooled might strap an 80 mm on it lol

My advice is if you got 200 quid to spend play with one of these babies

[Stephen]

I am now thinking about getting one of these babies. My Athlon XP 2100 is getting a bit long in the tooth for me.

go for it its a real bargain and you dont get many of those in life lol

[punky]

I wish I had the money

[Stephen]

Well I have a brand new xbox360 I need to shift but once I do thats what I'll be spending the cash on

They will be around for a good while and most likely get cheaper.Intel have done a mad thing with this cpu 20 x multiplier woohoo lol lol

Woot! BTW Thanx for keeping us up-to-date on it matey...

I'm tempted to take the advice of a certain NTHW clanner (who shall remain nameless for legal reasons) and swap my HD out, drop my computer down the stairs and then claim on the insurance. Knowing my luck i'll end up doing porridge for it.

Lol good luck mate
